The DC20 is easy to use and capable of above-average video quality, but you're paying for the privilege of recording straight to disc. There's a clear benefit to being able to stick media straight in your DVD player to watch or into your PC for...

Great Camera with an annoying gotcha

Here's the gotcha. As far as I've been able to tell, you can't import video from this camera on to your PC without buying additional software. The Canon software only works for still images. You have to use the bundled Roxio My DVD LE to do anything...

Excellent video and sound quality in all lighting situations! You can set this camera up to record in 16x9 aspect ratio for the newer TVs that are being sold. The ability to record to DVD is very nice, in addition, this camera can also hold a miniSD...

The DVD Media only holds 30 min of footage which I was aware of when buying. The camera seems to overheat if left plugged in for an extended period of time. I accidentally left the camera plugged in over night (8 - 10 hours) causing an issue with a...

The best DVD camcorder

Ejecting a DVD from the Canon DC20 and popping it straight into your domestic DVD player. Although DVD camcorders have some way to go before they threaten the versatility of MiniDV, for the casual user with little or no interest in editing, they're...

Don't Buy this one

This Camera is the worse, notwithstanding that I now realize that I was ripped off buy the sales clerk in the Aventura mall who sold me the Camera as a "GOOD" Buy against the Sony Cameral that I originally went in to buy. I think the camera itself is...

Canon DC20 DVD Digital Camcorder

2 big complaints about this camera: 1. So called "Night Mode" is useless. Everything is blurry and trippy-looking, and if you turn the light on, it either A. blinds people, or B. doesn't reach to where the action is. 2. The "disk errors" as above...

Superb DAYLIGHT photo quality and sound

VERY poor quality in dim or dark situations. Losing material due to random "disk errors

Canon DC20 camcorder

I really love this camcorder. In the very beginning, I just want to buy camcoder w/o DVD (taper type), such as canon ZR300. However, I was attracted by the goog price and high resolution of canon DC20. So I decide to buy it. This is really wonderful...

Easy to operate, very tiny size, good resolution

It should have seperate DVD-finalized function for each of video in the feature.
